NYFA’s 12-Weekend Youth Programs offer immersive, hands-on courses in Filmmaking and Acting for Film for students aged 8–12 and 13–17. Taught by industry professionals, these programs give young creatives the opportunity to gain practical experience with state-of-the-art equipment while exploring their passion for visual storytelling. Students build confidence, creativity, and collaboration skills in a supportive, artistic environment.
Our Spring (starting in January) and Fall (starting in September) sessions each run for 12 weekends, with classes held during the day on Saturdays at NYFA’s Los Angeles campus and NYFA's New York City campus.
